<P><STRONG>Function</STRONG>
<P>
Prints time marks.
<P><STRONG>Syntax</STRONG>
<BR>
<TT><STRONG><BR>
&#35;include &lt;dx/dx.h&gt;<BR>
<P><BR>
void DXPrintTimes()<BR>
</STRONG></TT><BR>
<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
Prints a merged summary of
the "global" time events recorded by
<TT><STRONG>
DXMarkTime
</STRONG></TT>
and the "local" time events recorded by
<TT><STRONG>
DXMarkTimeLocal
</STRONG></TT>
since the last call to
<TT><STRONG>DXPrintTimes</STRONG></TT>.
<P>
For each global event, the following are printed:
<UL COMPACT>
<LI>The identifying tag that was specified by the
<TT><STRONG>
DXMarkTime
</STRONG></TT>
call
<LI>The time of the last previous global event
<LI>The difference in
time between that previous event and this event
<LI>The time of this event.
</UL>
<P>
For each local event, the following are printed:
<UL>
<P><LI>The processor on which the event occurred
<P><LI>The time of the last previous local
event on this processor or the last
previous global event, whichever occurred later
<P><LI>The difference in
time between that previous event and this event
<P><LI>The time of this event.
</UL>
<P>
All times are printed in seconds.  In addition, on some
architectures the difference
in user and system times are printed, as recorded
by the operating system.  These times are not printed on the
IBM POWER Visualization System,
and appear as zeros.
<P><STRONG>Return Value</STRONG>
<P>
None.
